Chapter 4 An unexpected meeting.

Pov Qui-Gon Jinn

The next morning, a group of heroes hit the road, they needed to get to the ship and fly to the north of Tatooine. Together with the Jedi and Padme, Anakin Skywalker set off on his journey, leaving his mother and past life behind. When everyone boarded the ship, the Jedi and Anakin went to the medical compartment.

"So, Anakin, sit still, I need quite a bit."

-Yes, Jedi Master

"Obi Wan, do a midichlorian test."

When the result appeared on the display, the Jedi were very surprised at the result.

-More than 20,000 midichlorian. It…

-More than even Master Yoda.

-And what are midichlorians? Asked Anakin

- These are microscopic life forms, thanks to which every living creature in the galaxy has a connection with power.

-Wow!

-Need to prepare for the flight to the North Pole and find their commander. We need a hyperdrive and permission to fly away from this planet.

At that moment, Ja Ja Binks entered the medical compartment, and he was greatly alarmed.

"Jedi Master, giants outside!" They surround us ship.

- All keep calm. I will talk to them.

When Qui-Gon came down the ramp, he saw a giant in richly decorated armor, which distinguished him from the rest.

"Igno Peck, first captain of the Alpha Legion." My lord wants to see you.

-We were just about to fly north to find him and ...

Qui-Gon heard something remotely resembling laughter from under his helmet.

-He's not on this planet. That is why I arrived for you.

- You see, we need time to prepare.

-You have 30 minutes. In case of your refusal, we will seize the ship by force.

Returning to the ship, he went to the chambers of Queen Amidala and explained to her the situation

- Apparently, we have no choice.

Fifteen minutes later, a delegation of two Jedi, a queen and two maidservants, and captain Panaki, descended from the spaceship ladder.

"Please follow me," said Captain Peck.

The entire delegation boarded a huge aircraft and took their places, and when the wings closed, the engine rumble began to build up and the ship left the ground. Within a few minutes, they reached a space void and through the windows they saw a spaceship that surpassed the rest. And they flew to him. When the ship flew into the hangars of this huge battleship. The delegation, leaving the ramp, saw the huge size of the hangar, it contained thousands of aircraft of various designs.

"Please don't linger," said Igno Peck.

"Teacher, I do not feel Strength in these creatures, not in one," said Obi Wan.

"I am also my student," said Qui-Gon.

The delegation walked for a very long time along long corridors with high ceilings. On the way, they met giants, people in red tunics, and ordinary workers who were in a hurry about their business. In the end, they were brought into a huge hall, in which giants were on both sides, and in front of them stood one man who suddenly spoke:

-Primarch of the XX Legion, son of the immortal Emperor of men, Alpharius.

Enormous gates swung open on the back of the hall, from which came a giant that exceeded the size of the rest, from which a certain aura of power and power emanated.

"Greetings to you Jedi."

- Greetings ... primarch. I AM…

-Kwai-Gon Jinn, your Padawan Obi Wan Kenobi, Queen Amidala, the ruler of the local world, which was occupied by a certain Trade Federation.

"Apparently you are a well-informed primarch."

-Information is always important in any situation.

- So what do you want from us primarch? asked Qui-Gon Jinn.

-Offer your help, of course. It's not a big deal for my troops to free ... Naboo.

-But what do you want in return? asked the servant Sabe

Who was dressed in royal robes, and whom the real Queen Padme gave secret signs with gestures. But for such conspiracy masters and secret operations specialists as the Alpha Legion legionnaires, and especially for their Primarch, such signs were more than obvious, and for some of them these actions caused a slight laugh. The primarch came closer to Padma Amidala herself, bypassing Saba, leaned forward and spoke directly to her face.

-Become loyal subjects of my father, Emperor of mankind.

This statement shocked the entire delegation. But not by the fact that the foreigner offered to renounce the Republic, but by the fact that he saw through the real Queen Naboo, who, realizing that her cover was destroyed, began to speak herself, trying to overcome her inner fear of such a powerful creature:

-This is impossible, Naboo is part of the Republic and ...

What Republic? This sick state entity that cannot protect its citizens from corporations, robbers, slave traders. It can not provide many a decent life. The human imperium can ensure the security of your world, as the safety of Tatooine has ensured.

These words made her think that now she has the last chance to free her people.

"I can't speak from all the people of Naboo, but I ask for your help in freeing him from the clutches of the Trade Federation." But only the people themselves are free to decide: Remain a part of the Republic or become subjects of your father.

-May it be so!

Alpharius called one of his sons to himself and said:

-Transfer to Captain Dinat to prepare 15 cruisers and 2 battleship and send them to take control of the Naboo system and restore order there.

Turning back to the delegation, he stated:

"I think you should go to Coruscant and notify your Galactic Senate of the situation." My ambassadors will head with you, led by Consul-Delegate Autilon Skorr.

-But at our ship ..

- Damaged Hyperdrive, I know. When you return to the planet, a group of Tech-priests with a new Hyperdrive will be waiting for you, next to the ship.

"May I ask Primarch Alpharius a question?" Obi Wan asked.

-Of course, ask.

- Where did you come from?

Grinning, the primarch replied, "We are not from this galaxy." The emperor ordered us to go here to study a kind of energy surge, which has reached our galaxy. This is the reason for our presence here.

At that moment, the giant returned, who was sent with an order:

- My lord, the fleet is ready to ship.

"Good." Turning to the delegates, he said, "Unfortunately, I have to stop this conversation." You should return to the surface of the planet and from there go to Coruscant.

"I hope we meet again soon, primarch." - said Qui Gon

-I hope so too.

When the delegation left the room. There entered the twin brother of Primarch Alpharius, Primarch Omegon:

"Brother, let me lead our liberation forces."

"I just wanted to offer you this assignment, Omegon." Have you already sent our agents to all ends of this galaxy?

-Yes, our intelligence network is growing every day. We get a lot of information about the current state of affairs in this galaxy.

- Excellent, the first phase of the invasion is going according to plan. When the gates are completed, the countless armies of the Imperium will conquer this galaxy for the glory of mankind and our father.

-May it be so.
